Geography
Nau mai haere mai.
Welcome to the geography area, supporting curriculum, teaching and learning in geography with best practice approaches, a variety of effective strategies, and useful resources and website links.
Geography gives students a multidisciplinary or holistic view of the world, combining knowledge, skills, and understandings of the physical and social sciences. It fosters a curiosity about place and space, and provokes questions about natural and cultural environments and their interconnectedness.
Geography provides opportunities through fieldwork for first-hand investigations of places, environments, and human activities. It helps students make sense of complex issues such as climate change, ageing populations, urban growth, land conflicts, globalisation, and sustainability.
